This generally works and looks pretty, but it's quite shader intensive, which makes it not work on mobile or low end GPUs. The solution to these problems is to add support for a more traditional lightmapper (pre-baked light texture). Lightmapping is a very cheap operation, so it should run fine even on low end mobile.

Lightmaps offer significant advantages over any other technique when the following requirements are met: Performance above anything else (for mobile, lightmaps are still a must-have). Most scenes bake in seconds instead of minutes or hours. Allows baking dynamic and static lights. Lighting will not change (lights won't move).

This misalignment often leads to half-baked adaptations that fail to capture the essence of the original game. This is fueled by changing demographics, especially the surge in female gamers, who are set to outnumber males on mobile platforms—particularly in emerging markets.

It must be pre-baked for dynamic scenario geometry, but it offers support for full dynamic lights and dynamic objects. It works by implementing voxel cone tracing in a way that is friendlier with low end GPUs and high end mobile. GIProbe is a new node that is placed in the scene in a similar way as you place a reflection probe.

Also, the new lightmapper brings support for denoising using Open Image Denoise , which results in better-looking lightmaps in the same bake time range. before focusing on rendering optimization for mobile Vulkan in the 4.0
